I'm selling my tablet and wanted to erase all my data.
So I used 7zipper and delete everything on my internal storage then I went to Backup & Restore option in settings. Then clicked on "Factory Reset". The PAC-MAN ROM resets and boots straight into CWM Touch with No options just a scrolling bar and Andy's Core spinning clockwise.
It took a while so I thought it was stuck, and held the power button to reset CWM touch. Then it reboots in the same scenario stuck. So I thought resetting into CWM Touch would be a breeze. Wrong! I hold the power button and volume down and does absolutely nothing. I can't get into bootloader and CWM Touch loads with no options just looping like its installing when its not.
Can someone please help me fix this? I'm desperate.
You didn't way how long "a while" is, but apparently you didn't let it finish. A factory reset is performed by the recovery, and as long as it isn't finished it will always restart when you reboot.

Hello, I would like to start by writing that I have been searching the web and forums for 2 days attempting to figure out how to restore my phone.
I have rooted my g2x with super one click. Then i installed rom manager and flashed clockwork mod
I did a back up.
I then attempted to flash cyanogen nightly. Installation went well, then rebooted and here we are. Stuck,
When rebooting and entering the recovery menu there are 4 options and i am able to scroll using the VOLUME keys. Here is where the problem starts, I cannot select any of the options using the power button or any other button that i have tried.
The android is sitting next to the white box and this is what it says
FORMATTING DATA
FORMATTING CACHE
FORMATTING MISC
This is all that happens. Once again the menu options do not work, but i can scroll and highlight each one.
So i pull the battery and try it again and the menu options in recovery are simply not able to be selected. So i get stuck on the LG boot logo or stuck in an unresponsive recovery menu.
I cannot find out how to use any advanced tools for my device. I do not want to do further damage to my phone.
Any help from this forum would be appreciated. Thank you.
they wont help you, they are too "advanced" I wish I could help but like you, I followed verbatom instruction and wrecked many a phone...
Have you tried to reflash CWM with Rom Manager?
You should read:

I am having this same problem
It depends on what CWM you flashed. So which one? It may be expecting you to use the soft keys or it may be expecting the power key for selection. If all else fails download the one click installer and start completely over. I have flashed mine (GS II and GS II SR) several times and rooted it with no issues whatsoever.
I am stuck at this stage as well. I have attempted the steps in sites listed, however when I hold the volume up+volume down and then plug in the usb, my computer is not reading the g2x.
Help?
I flashed a rom using the guidance of the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit. Everything went well--until the rom--which is the Ilusion v2.0 [4.2.2], (found in the Sprint Galaxy S3 Android Development section)--got stuck in an endless animation right hefore the phone fully restarted to the home screen.
It's just stuck in this endless animation, like it's perpetually loading.
It's very frustrating. I want to restore the entire thing to its factory setting. Is there anyway to do this using Odin? Maybe when the phone is in Odin Mode?

First before you return to stock I would recommend fully powering the device off and then booting into recovery mode by holding the power button + home button + volume up button until you feel a vibration and see some small blue text in the upper left hand corner of your phone's screen, then continue holding the home button + volume up button until you enter recovery mode. Once in recovery mode select the option's to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and perform a factory reset. After you have done those three things select the "reboot system now" option and the phone should then reboot and power on normally and enter into Android no longer getting stuck on the boot animation. If you do however want to return to complete stock you use Odin to flash the stock firmware for your phone which can be downloaded from here I would reccomend checking outthis video on how to re-flash the stock firmware for the Sprint Galaxy S3.

Hi!
I have recently purchased a Nexus 5. On the day of the purchase, I received an OTA update for camera issues (it currently says build KOT49H). However, although I belive this install went through, as it changed Android version from 4.4 to 4.4.2, it didn't work as expected during installation. It froze during the Android robot screen, while it was installing. Bottom-line, now that I enter recovery, the first thing I see is a dead Android with a red triangle on it and the message "no command" underneath. If I press any button, the menu appears and I can choose the options. However, sometimes if I press volume up, instead of going up the menu, it closes it and shows the dead android background image only. I press again, and see the menu again, but can't go up, only down.
The phone is stock rom, not rooted, not altered in any way! I have attached several pictures in this respect.
Any clue about this issue?
Thanks!
If you reboot your system from recovery, you are stuck on "no command" screen as well?
Try wiping cache partition and rebooting. if it doesn't help, then do a factory reset and see if it helps.

No, the phone actually works if I reboot it normally. Only when I enter recovery I see this dead android robot. When I initially saw this dead android after update, I did to a wipe cache from recovery, as well as factory reset both from phone, as well as from recovery. Still the dead android in recovery remains, as wallpaper image...

That's the stock recovery and this is the way it should be. It's perfectly normal.

Thanks, I guess you're right! It's deceiving, however, that Google chose this image as default for recovery! I thought something went wrong...
However, I have reasons to believe that something is not right! When I enter recovery, I see the dead android, which is perfectly normal. In order to see the options (reboot, wipe cache, factory reset etc), I have to press volume up. If I press volume down, I go down the menu. If I press volume up, I should go up the menu. However, this leads to disappearing of the menu and back to the dead android background. If I press vol up, I see the menu again, with the cursor on the last position... I can't go up the menu. Is this normal behavior?
For instance, I had to select "wipe cache" and only after this process ended, by pressing vol up I was able to move through the options and choose reboot. Vol up in this case wasn't making the menu to disappear.
Thanks!

nothing to worry sir.
Hello
I have a problem with my acer a700.
It doesn't boot at all, it was ok before. It was on CM10.
Last thing i did was formating through recovery, then I did a restore from an old backup I had through recovery also.
But in the process of restoration it took too long on restoring cache and i mean too long so i shut it down by holding power button, then booted back to recovery but it it started acting strange didn't want to reset/format or restore at all.
Then all of sudden it turned off.
I thought of the battery but i inspected and it's charged.
Now it doesn't boot at all no light no vibration nothing, tried booting recovery and fastboot nothing and the reset button doesn't do anything.
Any ideas what to do? I have a small knowledge in electronics i can take it apart and test using a volt meter.
Any help?
I just downloaded and installed newest security update (2018-06-**) for my device. After restart screen just went black. When i plug in to charge it, it vibrates, so it is working. Tried force restarting with Power + VolDown, it restarts, but you can only barely make out even the samsung logo when restarting because the backlight does not light up. I tried going into system recovery mode but i just can't see anything... What should i do now?

Find screenshots of stock recovery from devices just like yours, then use that screenshot as a guide when you boot into recovery, look at the screenshot and look at the list of options in stock recovery. You're looking for the "wipe cache partition" option. Starting from the top of the list, count down the list until you get to the factory reset option. Now boot to stock recovery, then press the volume down button the same number of times as what you counted from the screenshot. For example, in the screenshot, if "wipe cache partition" is the third option on the list, just press the volume down button three times, this should put you on the wipe cache partition option, then press power, it should do the wipe. Then try rebooting.
If that doesn't help, use the screenshot again as a guide to use the "factory reset" option" by counting down the list then pressing volume down that many times then press power to do the reset then reboot.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to flash your stock firmware via PC.
